C2) 25/9/09: PRESS RELEASE from Acting PSP - "Confirm that the employment relationship between Government and Mr. Cuthbert M. Lekaukau has been severed"

Following speculation in some local media outlets, this office has found it necessary to confirm that the employment relationship between Government and Mr. Cuthbert M. Lekaukau has been severed. This was done in accordance with the Law, as well as his letter of appointment. The severing of the relationship has nothing to do with his alleged political links with the Botswana Democratic Party or alleged support of Mr. Motswaledi in his recent court case. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is purely a matter between the employer and the employee.

M.B.R. Palai, ACTING PERMANENT SECRETARY TO THE PRESIDENT
